Greg Godovitz, the 70-year-old musician went down to his basement and retrieved a Fender acoustic guitar that he had gotten signed while visiting Ronnie Hawkins about three years ago. Kris Kristofferson and Gordon Lightfoot were also there and signed it, too.
He’s since gotten signatures on the guitar’s body from David Clayton Thomas, (Larry) Gowan, Gil Moore, Mike Levine and Rik Emmett of Triumph, Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson of Rush, Kim Mitchell, Carole Pope and Bif Naked (who will sign it Tuesday) to name a few.
“It is a Fender, so it’s a brand name guitar, but it’s not expensive, although it is now — now it’s the most expensive Fender guitar ever made,” said Godovitz.
The first bid was $2,000 and it currently sits at $7,800 but Godovitz expects it to eventually fetch “in the $20,000s.”
In the meantime, Godovitz has reached out to Paul Dean from B.C. band Loverboy.
